One should follow the trails in a forest alone to observe, to experience the wild life. En route one feels the extraordinary quietness. During those calm moments, somewhere a leaf falls down on the ground. Somewhere the canopies of the trees start rustling. Somewhere the cluster of bamboos start making a peculiar sound. Could there be a leopard quietly following and crouching? All of a sudden would I be confronted by the bear? Ears start listening very carefully. Eyes become sharp. Mind starts concentrating on its own, unknowingly. This most difficult stage in the Yogsadhana is achieved very easily in the jungle.
